Placentia woman found in good health in Angeles National Forest

PLACENTIA – A 24-year-old woman who had not been seen in nine days was found Friday morning in good health in the Angeles National Forest.

Officials began searching in the forest after people told police they believe they saw her there.

Shameca Lewis Johnson was reported missing Aug. 21 after her father and roommate received a call from her boss, who said Johnson did not show up for work, officials said. She was last seen leaving her apartment in the 1500 block of Sierra Bonita Drive by her roommate in the early afternoon of Aug. 20.

Visitors to the forest reported to officials Thursday that a woman matching Johnson’s description had been seen there and sheriff’s officials began searching with helicopters, dogs and cars.
